Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology
Excerpt: "Defenders of the Barmen Declaration's apolitical tone remind us that it was never intended to establish a program of political protest, that Karl Barth and the others were pastors not politicians; that the goal was to reassert the integrity of the gospel in the face of the attempted subversion by the German Christians.

The Nazi Fiscal Cliff: Unsustainable Financial Practices Before World War Ii, Parker Abt
